 =head1 NAME

 BIO_push, BIO_pop, BIO_set_next - add and remove BIOs from a chain

 =head1 SYNOPSIS

  #include <openssl/bio.h>

  BIO *BIO_push(BIO *b, BIO *next);
  BIO *BIO_pop(BIO *b);
  void BIO_set_next(BIO *b, BIO *next);

 =head1 DESCRIPTION

 BIO_push() pushes I<b> on I<next>.
 If I<b> is NULL the function does nothing and returns I<next>.
 Otherwise it prepends I<b>, which may be a single BIO or a chain of BIOs,
 to I<next> (unless I<next> is NULL).
 It then makes a control call on I<b> and returns I<b>.

 BIO_pop() removes the BIO I<b> from any chain is is part of.
 If I<b> is NULL the function does nothing and returns NULL.
 Otherwise it makes a control call on I<b> and
 returns the next BIO in the chain, or NULL if there is no next BIO.
 The removed BIO becomes a single BIO with no association with
 the original chain, it can thus be freed or be made part of a different chain.

 BIO_set_next() replaces the existing next BIO in a chain with the BIO pointed to
 by I<next>. The new chain may include some of the same BIOs from the old chain
 or it may be completely different.

 =head1 NOTES

 The names of these functions are perhaps a little misleading. BIO_push()
 joins two BIO chains whereas BIO_pop() deletes a single BIO from a chain,
 the deleted BIO does not need to be at the end of a chain.

 The process of calling BIO_push() and BIO_pop() on a BIO may have additional
 consequences (a control call is made to the affected BIOs).
 Any effects will be noted in the descriptions of individual BIOs.

 =head1 RETURN VALUES

 BIO_push() returns the head of the chain,
 which usually is I<b>, or I<next> if I<b> is NULL.

 BIO_pop() returns the next BIO in the chain,
 or NULL if there is no next BIO.

 =head1 EXAMPLES

 For these examples suppose I<md1> and I<md2> are digest BIOs,
 I<b64> is a base64 BIO and I<f> is a file BIO.

 If the call:

  BIO_push(b64, f);

 is made then the new chain will be I<b64-f>. After making the calls

  BIO_push(md2, b64);
  BIO_push(md1, md2);

 the new chain is I<md1-md2-b64-f>. Data written to I<md1> will be digested
 by I<md1> and I<md2>, base64 encoded, and finally written to I<f>.

 It should be noted that reading causes data to pass in the reverse
 direction, that is data is read from I<f>, base64 decoded,
 and digested by I<md2> and then I<md1>.

 The call:

  BIO_pop(md2);

 will return I<b64> and the new chain will be I<md1-b64-f>.
 Data can be written to and read from I<md1> as before,
 except that I<md2> will no more be applied.
